Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled opioid receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; adult locomotory behavior; and neuropeptide signaling pathway. Located in membrane. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; drug dependence (multiple); opioid abuse; and withdrawal disorder. Orthologous to human OPRD1 (opioid receptor delta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele do not develop analgesic tolerance to morphine while mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit hyperactivity, increased anxiety, and decreased coping response.
